I haven't seen Anaconda (cause it' so bad), but I have this "friend" who said they wish they had just gouged their eyes out with a spoon instead of watching that movie…. a friend, not me.

Anaconda is exactly the same kind of movie as Godzilla vs Mothra—I doubt that's what they intended, but that's kinda how it worked out. You must approach it in that spirit. The special effects were barely adequate, the plot was non-existent, and the script was mostly pathetic. However, the cheese level was very high. Jon Voigt was actually pretty competent as the villain—there was no other attempt at acting in the movie.

Also bear in mind that being old, I once did think Sean Connery was hot, though not as hot as Peter O'Toole.
